Changed maybe 10 tires ever, each one taking a year off my life. I feel like such a fool after watching how easy Jay makes it look.
This guy edit out the part where he struggled. Plus he popped the tube.
how much more fun changing a tube out on the trail
Try changing a small e-scooter tire. Holy crap man. Two year off right there.
Ive always been terrible at bike tyres im fine with everything else i just always struggle through it.
Omg, the valve stem straightening bonus tip is GOLD. I've always struggled getting the valve perfect, often would be just ever so slightly off!
Thanks a lot man!! I was struggling like hell. Your tips made it easier. Still struggling a bit, but a lot less.
Really great video, super helpful to see where you were feeling for the tire spoons, and the bead buddy looks like a great tool.
You make it look easy. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, thank you for taking the time to teach us how to change a tire. Quality knowledge for the rest of my life.
That stand!!! Being able to stand up and change....Priceless!
yea great thing it is
My a60's got scratched by an old dude that said he knew how to change a tire. That forced me to learn how. Your instructions put me on point. Thank you
Thank you for the BONUS Tip too!! Go Jay 😀
A tire changing stand was a game changer for me. It made all these tips really make sense. I couldn't believe how much better it was than a bucket or trash can.
Agreed I remember trying to do mine on the floor and it was so much harder but on the tire stand getting that thing up off the bead makes it easier and it just simplifies the process
I emailed Jay to get the plans for the stand he uses. Now it looks like I know what I'm doing. I don't, but I have never mounted a tire so fast! 🤣 Thanks Jay!
I've got one too, for years, best investment ever for tyre changing.
@@richfrancesconi6099 What stand is he using?
Appreciate the slower video, and the detail of having the camera come underneath. Its those small details that makes all the difference that we dont catch unless you show it. Thanks!
Stem tip was awesome! Thank you!
Solid info as always. Thank you J!
I went from not going to scratch my rim to just wanting to get the tire on. But it’s on! Success and we all start where we start! The rim lock was the challenge. Thank you for sharing knowledge
Best explanation on this topic - Thanks !!
I loved the slo-mo install with commentary. I am going to try and email for tire stand prints. YAY! great video!
great vid, like the tip on getting the tube stem straight, keep the vids coming always watch them
You always do such good work!!! Love watching your videos !!
Excellent instructional video! Many thanks!
Thanks! Great Video. I've been changing tires for 35 years and I still can't make it look as easy as you do. You have serious skills!
Must be a soft carcass
18s with cheater tires shure do change nicely. :)
Thanks for the videos and all your tips. Can I get a copy of the tire stand drawings you mentioned? Thank you
I would like to watch him do an adventure bike tire as they are stiff….
I find fronts are a piece of piss but tears a little harder
Great video thank you, you made it look so easy.
Thank you for the free bonus tip. Always happy to save some coin.
Loved the “bonus” tip.
Oh man!! Well done. I struggle so much. I just pay for it to get done.
Great video thanks for the tips!
Keeping the tire above the rimlock while installing and keeping the tire from beading while putting it on are the tricks that made all the different for me
Amazing demonstration
I felt what he said about bibs I gave up on not scratching my rims a long time ago.
Superb. Could watch you do that all day. 😁
You make it look so easy
Good video. I agree with everything you did. In the shop with a warm tire on a stand it's pretty easy. In the field changing a tube on the ground is another story. Scratches happen. Riding tight rocky trails scratches my rims so I really don't care any more. Let's call it riding patina on the wheels. Next video maybe with a 150/70-18 or so, 4 ply ADV tire changed out side when it's 60 degrees. Or just a field tube change.
Another information packed video. Thank you for posting it. Perhaps could you do a video on wheel balancing?
Buying a new bike and needing this video. My old rims look like I was juggling knives while changing the tire. 😪
Nicely done👍🇬🇧
Good stuff, doing the easy tires..... Let's see you do a 12/14 mini rears!!
Handy advice there. that tire stand is a plus too
Great stuff !
Dude you are the tire whisperer!
Nicely done👍
I wish this video came out last weekend before I scratched my son's black rim on his project YZ250. Like you said I missed the edge with my lever and scratched. I think I was angrier than he was. Holding the tyre up with the left hand tip will be really handy in the future.
Excellent video. Subscribed
Again superb instructions. Since I don't have to change tires often, I've downloaded one of your videos and have it permanently on my phone just in case I'm in the middle of nowhere out of cell phone reach with a flat and have forgotten how it should be done. Thanks! One tiny tip for the camera operator: no need to constantly move the camera. Makes it harder to watch. Again thanks for an excellent video!
Great video, great stand
Great video. Thanks
Need this done on my fresh powdered mini bike wheels. Will try a motorcycle shop
always the man!
Great video
A great refresher! In addition if I were instructing newbies or amateurs, myself, I would emphasize don't pinch the tube! And make sure the tube is free after the tire is on the rim...
2:43
good stuff as always. I would like to get your take on changing tires on a tubeless rim of something like a Africa Twin, GS, Multistrada, ect. I know that's not what this channel is about but, Personally, I take your guidance better than someone whom I haven't been following.
Paste for sure. Baja tire tool works great too.
Yeah, right!!! @2:46 in to the video (as you were saying "just like that") , the rim was clearly scratched ! Derp !
Agreed! I guess he doesn't consider taking the paint off the edge of the rim with the tire iron as being a "scratch" ? Uhh Doo-Dah.
THANKS !
Your resemblance to the late actor Brian Dennehy is remarkable.
This is why I prefer silver rims, and some astroglide. Always wipe front to back and don't forget to polish the sack...
😂
A couple of good tips there - sorting out the offset valve tip is pure gold. Thank you. Edit... I dont believe I just liked this comment... saw the name... it was me! 9 months ago... I'm losing the plot and have no recollection of watching this 😂
Get it together Steve!
The Joe Biden disease is sure spreading.
Experience? Technique? Tools? All that, and coffee to start your day! :)
That's great. Now if we can avoid scratches from rocks, ruts or dirt naps with the bike still spinning the rear.
Really love what you have shown me over the years its been soooo helpful BUT you did nick the black and im not convinced anyone cannot damage the black but at 3:07 youi did nick the paint
So, just like a bicycle then. Perfect
Such a pro!!!
My man ❤️
Nice Job Jay, Folks, if you're not doing it like this, you're doing it wrong. Watch all the crews at the MX races, they all do it the same way.
2:25 lol, I've been using my spoons backwards. It seemed logical.. I'll try it the right way next time.
Looks effortless.
I’ve changed lots of tires and use plastic rim protectors for my black rims. Some tires are pliable and others are very stiff making removal and installation a hard to do without scratching if I don’t use the protectors. I used some non-scratch polymer spoons for a while until I snapped them in half on a stiff tire. Good video. It’s obvious you’ve spooned on and off lots of tires.
Instead of making the whole spoon polymer maybe they should just make a polymer cover to cover the spoon or even make the spoons to where they can accept polymer inserts that can be replaced when needed, just on the face of the spoon that contacts the rim?
Nice video! Now I definitely believe you don’t scratch rims😂
All I use are the motion pro spoons. I have 6. 3 for the shop, 3 stay in the NV3500 Van.
I'm the guy that asked if it's "experience or technique" so thank you!!
Good job-- it got me thinking about all the guys that have made the comments---
Thanks
I need that stand fella!!!
Wow I've never seen a tire go so easy
Just ignor the scratches you make and its just like you didnt scratch the rims. Lol good video brother.
Well done...haters always gonna hate hate hate 🏁
3:07 skinned the paint off, It happened when you "walk it like this" at 3:03 No way to avoid skinning rims using spoons and prying on the rim. I prefer a machine that way you don't touch the rim when prying. I know people want to change their own but if you're picky take to a shop with a pneumatic machine.
I see several chips along the edge
Great video! So in essence what you are saying is don't be a hack and take your time and use the right tools lol
I need those wheels to be back in stock for my husky so I can put this video to use hahaha
Great video and all the tips you mention. How can I get a copy of the tire stand drawings you mentioned? Thank you.
Those white-hub Tusk wheels are getting a lot of screen time!
Thank you for video. What do you think of TUSK wheel sets? Cheers
My favorite is getting the tire back on and Airing the tube up to find out the tube got pinched
I put some take off KTM rims (used) that were black on my Gas Gas this weekend. I was thinking as I did scratch a few spots (already scratched). I spooned on some bibs. I was thinking not fancy enough to have them. Silver ones hide scratches well! Actually thinking about a Rabaconda for mounting them.
Just wanted to let you know that with your help I can change out a set of tires in about an hour. Thank you
I like to not go past vertical with the spoon at 4:46 and other times, for fear of pinching the tube.
When I spent big money $$$ on my custom supermoto big spoke Excel rims with polished hubs, I honestly mounted them by hand and my knees (no tools!).
I’m just glad Artie Lange is working again
Thanks for the slower video, Jay and crew. It's clear to me it is way easier to not scratch the rim when you have a tire stand. I think I'm going to have find a spot to store a tire stand 🤔
Just buy a rabaconda or the Rocky Mountain knockoff.
Ninja skills.
Great video 😊 what’s the the name of the tire paste you use ?
One thing I notice you do (as most do) that ruins*pinches a tube while installing is, you go over 90 degrees with spoon. If you never go over 90 degrees then there's no way of wrecking/pinching the tube.
Ur a beast. Thank you
Does it matter if the rim tape is above or below the rim locks. I've got a TT600 with 2 rim locks. Thanks, Ron
I don't know why this sport is so much more egotistical than so many others.. you're changing a goddamn tire, and you've done it hundreds of times.. obviously you know what you're doing! We should sit back, watch, listen and learn. Must be mx guys who are giving you hell lol I love the content as always!
I use to do the maintenance on motorcycles for a rider course program and watched several videos on changing tires very similar to your procedure and it work's very well. But not quite so easy on a heavy duty tubeless ADV bike tire. But thanks for the video.
I'd like to see you put a Dunlop trailmax mission on my tubeless Africa twin. Not quit so easy.
Awesome
Great video but I was taught many yrs ago that you don’t put a stem nut on the inside,only the dished washer ! Michelin factory shows the same on their inner tube boxes
Great demo... you actually scratched the rim when you popped the tire over the rim lock at 3:00. However, my rims look like an angry beaver used them as a chew toy.

I have these EN 91 Dunlops on my BMW XChallenge and they are a game changer. I haven’t seen anyone else run them. they’re been on my bike for about a year. My choice on all my bikes. Dunlop just released a sticky non DOT approved EN91 I want to try
Looks easy when it has a super soft side wall
i saw you Scracthing the rim big time wow
Dang I must be a seasoned master then lol
